A Proposal Story: This Fantastic Boyfriend Proposed on Glamour.com!!

If you’re not a regular reader of Glamour.com’s Slaves to Fashion, you may have missed this amazingness!

Last Wednesday, there was a business-as-usual post (“5 OMG-Worthy Spring Sandals!”) just waiting to go live on the fashion blog. If Tracey, our main fashion blogger, noticed that headline, she didn’t think twice about it. (Just like I wouldn’t think twice if I saw someone had written a “5 OMG-Worthy Wedding Dresses!” post for Save the Date.)

Meanwhile, while the innocent-looking “5 OMG-Worthy Spring Sandals!” post was just sitting on the server, Tracey was on her way into Glamour’s offices for a meeting with our blog bosses, Susan and Anne.

When the meeting wrapped, Susan told Tracey she had to show her “one more thing”—her computer screen, where the “5 OMG-Worthy Spring Sandals!” post had turned into a post with this headline:

We Interrupt Your Regularly Scheduled Fashion Programming to Bring You a Few Words on Accessories from Tracey’s Boyfriend

Huh?

Long story—er, post—short, it was a marriage proposal from her boyfriend, Eric, on Glamour.com!!

After Tracey read the post, Susan promptly put her in a town car and sent her back to her apartment, where Eric was waiting. She arrived to find her home covered in flowers, and Eric on one knee asking her to marry him.
